Animation: How the Partial Lunar Eclipse Looked

During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Bundaberg. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.

Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.

The maximum part of the eclipse occurs when the Moon is close under the horizon. The best time to view the eclipse in Bundaberg would be around this time. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.

This eclipse is in progress during moonrise or moonset, so only parts of the eclipse are visible in Bundaberg.

The animation's bottom edge represents an ideal, flat horizon, which is at the same altitude as the observer.
